Cara

1. With matching thread finish the raw edge. On fine fabric,

turn up and press a small ½” or less hem. On medium to

heavyweight fabrics overcast the fabric’s raw edge.

2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.

3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel counter

clockwise by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It

should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust

the guide (B) on the blindhem foot (A) so that the needle

just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against

the fold.

Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of

the guide.

4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the

right side of the fabric.

NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always

make a sewing test first.

NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot,

the stitch width control can be used. The stitch

width control changes the swing of the needle for a

more narrow or wider stitch.

- Regular blind stitch for normal woven fabrics

- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics

MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG

This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes

three short stitches where the normal zig-zag makes only one.
For this reason it is highly recommended for overcasting all

types of fabrics.
It is also ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching, sewing

towelling, and attaching flat elastic.

SETTINGS :Presser foot - All-purpose foot

:Thread tension control - AUTO

NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in

illustration requires manual adjustment of the length

control.
